Now I have had a lifelong interest in corporal punishment, which was an almost every day occurrence (the strap) at school). My fantasies were mainly a more loving re-creation of the incidents at school and home, with favourite aunts, uncles and teachers playing the dominant role.<br /><br />That night opened my eyes to the possibility of CP in my marriage - believe it or not I had never considered the thought of my wife playing the dominant role before! So a few days later I wrote her a letter, explaining my interest, how she could possibly partake and help, how much I loved her and how she could ignore the letter if she felt so inclined as it wasn't really that important.<br /><br />I was with her when she read it and luckily she responded in a supportive way and we started our first, tentative discussions about how giving her the power to punish me would re-balance our relationship, that I would behave better with clear boundaries, etc. She openly said she thought it was a bit odd but was willing to at least explore.<br /><br />So a few days later we tried our first 'OTK' session with the bath brush, which whilst light, was satisfying for both of us. I then got into the habit of writing to her with 'feedback' via e-mail, a habit I have maintained over the past few years. This has helped me 'coach' her into delivering spankings that really hit the mark (!) She loves getting my e-mails which tell her how I feel after, whether I felt the punishment met the crime, how much I adored her, etc and she uses them to adjust the severity, the ritual, the timings, etc when I misbehave in future. And yes it is all about behaviour and helping me eradicate rudeness, selfishness, moods, and so on.<br /><br />It's fair to say I was in control to start with - I bought the 'tools', I did and shared the research, I even advised on how hard, how long, how each 'tool' felt, and how it was changing me - for the better. <br /><br />Now, whilst I still write the e-mails, she knows exactly when to take control, when I need 're-aligning' and she will always over ride my protests and get on with it. Control has completely moved from me to her and we are both happy with the situation except for when I am at the receiving end of her very competent and more than adequate paddle or strap (or usually both) treatments which seem to occur at least weekly.<br /><br />So in summary open feedback and communication in our case has given her the confidence and control.<br /><br />TBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6699266088923868373.post-28069886035131632252015-03-02T18:09:31.257-08:002015-03-02T18:09:31.257-08:00Thank you Anna!Thank you Anna!Merry Contraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13605968415958113942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6699266088923868373.post-51681225185885130802015-03-02T12:55:19.924-08:002015-03-02T12:55:19.924-08:00Merry

If a man wants this sort of discipline than he should never at any time try to worm his way out of the punishment, as I sense so many of our men do. In fact, that is one thing that I have been paying attention to with Peter. I want him to accept and acknowledge his error and also accept the punishment on my terms not when he feels like it. <br />AnnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6699266088923868373.post-8184907403252658352015-03-02T09:02:14.858-08:002015-03-02T09:02:14.858-08:00A quite interesting discussion here. I don't ...A quite interesting discussion here. I don't think domestic discipline has a chance of success unless there is consistent discipline for behavior that both parties agree is unacceptable. Yet there are times when our wives are in no mood to take immediate action. There are also times when those of us who are spanked harshly are in no mood to take that spanking. Here is where communications between husband and wife are crucial. There is no reason for an immediate spanking when the wife is not in the mood, but there must be agreement that a spanking will happen when the wife is ready to make it happen whether you are ready or not. I think it is important that this be stated in whatever agreement you have with your wife. So Alan you need to talk this out with your wife. I think you should also do your best to stop your yelling. If I did what you did, I might get more than one paddling, and maybe two in the same day (and does that second one ever hurt). But as long as your wife lets you know you are really going to get it when she is ready to do it, and eventually does do it (while you fret over what it will be like when she does it) to me that's consistency. But you need to have this discussion with your wife and she must agree that when you do the crime you will do the time, on her terms, or your disciplinary arrangement is doomed to fail in my opinion., <br /><br />There are many situations that can occur when there is no opportunity for an immediate spanking. In those cases (say when you are on a cruise), my wife will tell me when we get home you are going to get the spanking of your life. In my case I straighten out for the rest of the cruise when I hear that, and I also know when we get home, when she is ready, I will get exactly what she said I will get. Communications and agreement with you wife on as many things as you can agree upon is what I would suggest you consider.<br /><br />Fred Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6699266088923868373.post-27345952553389209462015-03-02T08:29:37.804-08:002015-03-02T08:29:37.804-08:00I did not take part in the poll since the only cho...I did not take part in the poll since the only choices were "more" or "less".

Your thoughts are always welcome and I do get it and like Dan I know being the family disciplinarian is often a heavy responsibility. Life is never perfect and the best DD relationship isn't either. The best we can do is aim for the best we can do.At the same time though all the research I have seen has shown that to be effective in modifying behavior punishment has to be swift, certain ( that's consistency) and severe. That's a goal if not a reality but it's also a formula for any women who wants to bring about behavior change in her man.<br /><br />AlanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6699266088923868373.post-65204865927858027852015-03-01T23:08:30.819-08:002015-03-01T23:08:30.819-08:00@ Dan: I didn't mean to come off like I was at...@ Dan: I didn't mean to come off like I was attacking Alan.

But, that's also kind of what leadership is about. If the couple has set up a set of rules regarding behavior and punishment, or if they have broader FLR-type relationship and has agreed she is going to assume leadership and control, then sporadic control and inconsistent punishment really isn't leadership. It's all ice cream, no spinach.<br /><br />No one is going to be consistent or "on" all the time. That's just life. But, if the guy has left himself very vulnerable by asking to be disciplined and to be subjected to his wife's discipline, and she has said it is going to happen, it is a very big frustration to get yourself into an emotionally vulnerable place of submission and then . . . nothing.

Maybe I am a wuss but she is very fit and most of my punishments are with a long handled bath-brush or it and a strap and both are very much to be avoided.But what I would like is more consistency on what is punished.. Yesterday for example I lost my temper and yelled at her while driving using obscenities and I was not punished for it. Yet twice last month ( January) I was spanked for similar behavior that was less outrageous. Admittedly this is something of a chronic problem and she may be frustrated. But .knowing that specific misbehavior is no exceptions going to get me spanked is the key to me getting behavior under control and when one day its " get your pants down" and another a big yawn it just ( IMHO) promotes chronic misbehavior..

I suspect that's also true of men who wish to be submissive and prefer their wives' make decisions for them. I don't fit in that category. In my case I look at DD as an excellent, quick, marital problem solver. Because I know my behavior causes problems in our relationship, I can accept discipline from my wife when I screw up and it relieves my guilt and probably some of my wife's stress, and when the punishment if over, we get back to normal, in fact, usually better than normal. When we first agreed to rules and behaviors that we both agreed were unacceptable, in the beginning my wife didn't spank me nearly as hard as she should have. They hurt, but they were not really a deterrent, even though on my own I tried to improve myself. It didn't take her too long, about two months, to learn she needed to give me a true DWC paddling, she did, I never thought she had it in her to paddle me so hard and it was everything I could do to take all of it. Needless to say, I tried much much harder not to screw up, as those paddling's were something to avoid at all costs. Otherwise I continue to be the leader and decision maker on all areas not related to misconduct and discipline where my wife is the firmly established boss. Although I could agree to being disciplined for bad behavior, I could not relinquish my role as family leader and decision maker in areas not involving my bad behavior. My wife has no hesitancy to paddle me for bad behavior, but at the same time she would prefer I be the leader and decision maker in the family. That doesn't mean we don't consult on such matters, we do, and we usually agree, but if we don't agree, I make the decision. Except for the fact the discipline is much harsher than that advocated by the Spencer Spanking Plan, we otherwise follow it with the exception than only I am spanked. One other thing about the Spencer Plan, if you know you've screwed up and deserve harsh punishment, you can relieve your guilt by admitting your wrongdoing or need, and your wife must agree to give you the discipline you deserve.<br /><br />FredAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6699266088923868373.post-83560461965654412592015-03-01T05:35:42.060-08:002015-03-01T05:35:42.060-08:00I’m with everyone else on this – I’m not surprised...I’m with everyone else on this – I’m not surprised one bit by the results. For myself, I need Mistress to show her authority for our FLR to have any effect. Without authority, there is no real discipline and the FLR becomes merely a game.<br />The problem in our FLR is that I sometimes confront Mistress’ authority and often don’t accept it. I know I am in the wrong but, as the same time, it’s those times when I need a strict authoritarian person who will not back down.<br />We had an interesting incident out at coffee this morning. I made some glib statement, which annoyed Mistress and she really tore me off a strip. She was much more angry than I’ve seen her and I found myself feeling very small, very embarrassed and very apologetic. But I also felt very submissive and willing to accept her comments and they were fully deserved. <br />I think it’s that kind of authority that would benefit us both – even if I am put in my place from time to time..<br />I certainly don’t want her to punish me any harder or frequently than she does but I know that if she did, I would become more malleable to her authority. I’d have because I couldn’t cope with the discipline!<br />I’ve already reached the point where I try to avoid punishment at all costs so for her to take it to another level, which she often threatens she is capable of, would, I believe, be a very effective way for her to take full control. <br />You say we want hard, consistent discipline. I don’t think in my case it’s so much a case of want, but need.<br />Respecting Mistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00283458872041706615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6699266088923868373.post-70599627123657923392015-03-01T03:10:57.095-08:002015-03-01T03:10:57.095-08:00I totally agree with sub hub and spankedbywife.
